American pancakes with banana

Overripe bananas are dyeing on the counter in the fruit bin and you''re wondering where to put them? We know. Here''s a recipe for Fluffy American Banana Pancakes.

But to make American banana pancakes really fluffy, here are a few BAM tips. Don''t over-mix the batter for American pancakes . Once you''ve mixed the recipe ingredients, the mixing is done. If there are a few lumps left in the batter, don''t worry. It will make the American pancakes even tastier.

Let the batter rest for a bit after mixing. This is not a strict rule, but if you are really in a hurry, you can skip this part. But, if you have at least ten minutes, make the most of it by letting the batter rest. This ensures a smoother, more uniform texture, and also helps to release any gluten that may have developed, making the pancakes lighter and fluffier.

The pancakes should not be fried. If you use a frying pan, rub a little vegetable oil into it with a paper towel (butter is also good, but be careful not to burn it).

The pancakes will need a hot and even heat to get a delicious browned exterior and an even shape. Pro cooking tip: To test the temperature of the cooking surface, drizzle a few drops of cold water on it. The drops should sizzle and dance around before disappearing. If they evaporate immediately, the pan is too hot and the pancakes will burn. If they do not sizzle, the pan is too cold and the pancakes will remain pale.

To make American banana pancakes taste really "banana-y", add BAM nutty banana spread. BAM nutty banana is a spread made from cashew nuts and banana. The combination of roasted cashews, roasted American walnuts, cinnamon and banana creates a spread that will perfectly complement the taste of American pancakes.
